Pet Hut
Barn cats and outdoor dogs will love this idea. Linda Slott of New Waverly, Texas, makes snug sleeping quarters for her pets using an old cooler. She cuts a hole in one side and puts in an old blanket or two. The lid makes cleaning the inside easy, and her cats have a windproof, insulated place to bunk.
